It goes back to the Broken Windows theory about crime. The Broken Windows Theory in criminology posits that visible signs of crime, antisocial behavior, and civil disorder create an environment that encourages further criminal activity. These visible signs, such as broken windows or graffiti, signal a lack of order and law enforcement, leading to more serious crimes.
So, the more we let these billionaires and radical far-Right extremists keep breaking windows, like what they did on January 6, the more they’ll be encouraged to keep doing it. We (society) are letting them do it without consequences, so there’s no incentive for them to ever stop.
Kind of an honest question. I vote in all elections, attempting to read up on candidates as I make my vote. Choosing one’s that align with my views. I sign petitions in similar fashion.
Stop using X for one and encourage others to leave. If you really don’t want to leave for whatever reason you’d better be jumping in and steering these convos back in the right direction (and get banned I’m sure).
Start with your Brain. You bitch about cleani up graffiti, when you should complain about the endless advertisements. Giant ugly LED billboards, commercials blastingat obscene volume from gas pumps. We pause thisfootball game to let the Blue Angels do a fly over, enlist today. Obey, consume and die. Cradle to Grave. Todays messages was brought to you by Carls Jr.

Except that theory is bunk when it comes to actual crime.
How can we start to clean up the graffiti?

I hate to say it but voting is the bare minimum.
Also, check you voter registration and tell your friends to check theirs - this is important.

Dunno if we want to be acting like broken window theory is the answer to anything
